Overview

Mission

Provide care and support for homeless cats until they can be adopted.

Cats and kittens are kept in foster care and then placed in loving, permanent homes.

Operating model

Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 78% for direct work, and 22% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
